Determine
the
business
impact
of
your
problem
When
you
report
a
problem
to
IBM,
you
are
asked
to
supply
a
severity
level.
Therefore,
you
need
to
understand
and
assess
the
business
impact
of
the
problem
you
are
reporting.
Use
the
following
criteria
to
decide
on
an
appropriate
severity
level
for
your
problem:
Severity
1
Critical
business
impact:
You
are
unable
to
use
the
program,
resulting
in
a
critical
impact
on
operations.
This
condition
requires
an
immediate
solution.
Severity
2
Significant
business
impact:
The
program
is
usable
but
is
severely
limited.
Severity
3
Some
business
impact:
The
program
is
usable
with
less
significant
features
(not
critical
to
operations)
unavailable.
Severity
4
Minimal
business
impact:
The
problem
causes
little
impact
on
operations,
or
a
reasonable
circumvention
to
the
problem
has
been
implemented.
Describe
your
problem
and
gather
background
information
When
explaining
a
problem
to
IBM,
be
as
specific
as
possible.
Include
all
relevant
background
information
so
that
IBM
Software
Support
specialists
can
help
you
solve
the
problem
efficiently.
To
save
time,
know
the
answers
to
these
questions:
v
What
software
versions
were
you
running
when
the
problem
occurred?
v
Do
you
have
logs,
traces,
and
messages
that
are
related
to
the
problem
symptoms?
IBM
Software
Support
is
likely
to
ask
for
this
information.
v
Can
the
problem
be
recreated?
If
so,
what
steps
led
to
the
failure?
v
Have
any
changes
been
made
to
the
system?
(For
example,
hardware,
operating
system,
networking
software,
and
so
on.)
v
Are
you
currently
using
a
workaround
for
this
problem?
If
so,
please
be
prepared
to
explain
it
when
you
report
the
problem.
Submit
your
problem
to
IBM
Software
Support
You
can
submit
your
problem
in
one
of
two
ways:
v
Online:
Go
to
the
Submit
and
track
problems
page
on
the
IBM
Software
Support
site
(http://www.ibm.com/software/support/probsub.html).
Enter
your
information
into
the
appropriate
problem
submission
tool.
v
Do
you
have
logs,
traces,
and
messages
that
are
related
to
the
problem
symptoms?
IBM
Software
Support
is
likely
to
ask
for
this
information.
v
Can
the
problem
be
recreated?
If
so,
what
steps
led
to
the
failure?
v
Have
any
changes
been
made
to
the
system?
(For
example,
hardware,
operating
system,
networking
software,
and
so
on.)
v
Are
you
currently
using
a
workaround
for
this
problem?
If
so,
please
be
prepared
to
explain
it
when
you
report
the
problem.
If
the
problem
you
submit
is
for
a
software
defect
or
for
missing
or
inaccurate
documentation,
IBM
Software
Support
creates
an
Authorized
Program
Analysis
Report
(APAR).
The
APAR
describes
the
problem
in
detail.
Whenever
possible,
IBM
Software
Support
provides
a
workaround
for
you
to
implement
until
the
APAR
is
resolved
and
a
fix
is
delivered.
IBM
publishes
resolved
APARs
on
the
IBM
product
support
Web
pages
daily,
so
that
other
users
who
experience
the
same
problem
can
benefit
from
the
same
resolutions.

Operating
system-dependent
variables
and
paths
This
guide
uses
the
UNIX
operating
system
convention
for
specifying
environment
variables
and
for
directory
notation.
When
using
the
Windows
operating
system
command
line,
replace
$variable
with
%
variable%
for
environment
variables
and
replace
each
forward
slash
(/)
with
a
backslash
(
\)
in
directory
paths.
The
names
of
environment
variables
are
not
always
the
same
in
Windows
and
UNIX
operating
systems.
For
example,
%TEMP%
in
Windows
systems
is
equivalent
to
$tmp
in
UNIX
systems.
